Linkin Park Returning for DOTM?

Wasn't it the other way around?

Yes it was. Total screw up, dude.

Thanks guys, I did have them backwards! Fixed.

EXCELLENT CHOICE!!!

It's just too bad that it's a bit more cerebral than what the average Transformer fan can handle because this song fits so well into the reported tones of this movie on so many levels. The songs associated with the first 2 films both fit nicely with their respective movies but LP had the benefit of working in direct conjunction with the franchise on those. For this new song to work so well for the upcoming film speaks very highly of LP's understanding and empathy regarding world affairs and their ability to translate that into such an all encompassing track and also gives a bit more validity to Bay's claims about the turn that TF3 is taking in regards to tone and general plot/theme.

the movies with out Linkin Park just doesn't make any sense, like Chewbacca living on Endor, it just doesn't make sense. If a Transformers movie needs to have a Linkin Park song you must acquit.

But seriously I think it'll be a great song for the movie.

I'm sure the guy who made Fort Minor and has a successful rap career will be shocked he is in a boyband

Never heard of him.

I listen to real rap music like Three Six Mafia, Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, Juvenile, Trick Daddy, Zero, David Banner, etc. And cant forget my hometown classic 2 Live Crew. Back on topic, I believe Something as big as Transformers deserves a hit single from a mainstream Hip Hop artist. Maybe not one as dirty south for my tastes, but at least give us Eminem or Jay-Z.

just one more reason for me not to see this movie

Well, LP doing the title song for the film is a staple at this point, and that song does seem to have the continuing sound you'd expect, but tamer, almost a finality in its tone which makes sense. Am a bit surprised that its a song chosen rather than something new though.

No 'god bless us everyone', thank you.

I'll agree with one thing; they could definitely use some decent wrap on the soundtrack, period. But, sorry, being the rap lover I am I gotta say the range of available good rap is growing more narrow by the passing year.

And what, may I ask, is wrong with coming from the struggling-to-maintain label of 'middle America'?

That's nice, I'm just pointing out that Linkin Park is not even close to being a "boy band" seeing as they do work with Jay-Z and started out as a nu-metal/rap group. I will admit that the soundtracks need some verity but Linkin Park is one of the selling points of the albums

I hate this.

A timeless movie score from the first film reduced to noisy, nauseating trash in the second. The first film's score will hold up for generations. The second? Not five years.
